File not opening.

Post by Prasanna venkadesan » Mon Oct 21, 2019 11:10 pm

I have downloaded the file. It is in .NII format. Cannot be imported in the Abaqus. Also when I downloaded the package from https://simtk.org/projects/cphmbkneefem, it is mentioned that the package has 3D Solidworks model, Abaqus inp file. But no such files were there. One 5 MB file was downloaded and the extension is also showing as File. Kindly help me in this regard. Thanks

Dear Prasanna,

.NII format is for storing images, e.g. MRIs of the knee. They are NOT model files. Open Knee(s) - Generation 1 has meshes as .inp files that can be imported to Abaqus. Nonetheless, all our model files for Generation 1 and Generation 2 (see wiki page "Roadmap") are in FEBio format (.feb) which is an XML file.

About https://simtk.org/projects/cphmbkneefem, this is a sister project (and model) provided by Cal Poly group not us. We did not prepare the dissemination for that. Your best bet is to reach out to them.

Best,

Ahmet
